Nigeria is urging China to remove trade tariffs to enhance economic cooperation and boost trade, aligning with the nation's development objectives. The recent conclusion of a 7.6-billion-euro green hydrogen energy deal with China signifies a shift towards clean energy in Nigeria. Obiora Madu, the Director-General of the African Center for Supply Chain, highlighted the potential benefits of tariff exemptions, emphasizing the importance of Nigeria's readiness to leverage this trade privilege. Concerns have been raised about the low-value raw materials under the exemption list, with calls for promoting value addition and exporting processed goods to China. Additionally, there are anticipations of increased foreign investments in Nigeria's energy sector but with questions on the deal's impact on the oil-dependent economy. Geopolitical dynamics play a role in Nigeria's trade relationships, with a focus on strengthening partnerships with China amid uncertainties in the global trade landscape. Nigeria's strategic efforts are aimed at enhancing trade ties, diversifying economic partnerships, and navigating evolving geopolitical currents, emphasizing the need to address infrastructural gaps and maximize trade opportunities. The country's collaborations in clean energy and alliances with key partners like China are expected to shape Nigeria's economic trajectory in the midst of shifting global trade dynamics.
